Hi all, I'v add support of "*" modifier for sprintf, it exist in sprintf C
implementation (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/printf/)

Usage:
sprintf("%.*f", 2, 2) // output "2.00"
sprintf("%.2f", 2) // output "2.00"

My patch attached

For tracking, can you log a bug and attach the patch (and any relevant tests)?
